Also known asbasiltulsi plant
A coconut set on a small water-filled clay kalash at the Parjanya pad, with the water poured into tulsi and refilled daily, activates Parjanya; when the coconut sprouts, the devta is awake.

The tree of Jayant is sandalwood; since it cannot be grown in a pot, plant tulsi at E3 and stand a small sandalwood stick in the pot so the fragrance spreads through the house.

A spray of neem and tulsi water, or burning a powder of dried neem and tulsi leaves like a havan, gives relief from PU and other chemical finishes.

When a tree stands in a wrong place, such as a tall mango tree in the North-East, and cannot be removed, tulsi plants around it and energy-capturing plants in the North reduce the harm.

Tulsi absorbs the rays of the sun and, because of its mercury content, spreads that energy through the whole house, which is why tulsi pots are kept in the zones from North-East to East.

Plants are the most sensitive testers of home energy: tulsi and white hibiscus react at once to negativity, and a tulsi that keeps drying or a peace lily that will not grow shows negativity that has to be cleared.

Jayant, the third devta of the East (pad E3, in the outer paishachik ring), is the success-maker who completes any work by any means (saam, daam, dand, bhed) while following dharma, and converts knowledge into wealth. Its door is called the vipul sampada (abundant wealth) door because the grace of the Moon on this pad is very strong.

The brahm bhoomi at the centre suits a courtyard (aangan), tulsi worship, an area open to the sky, a living area and a place for yoga or meditation.

Brahm bhoomi (centre of the plot)
The outermost band of a plot, the pishach bhoomi, is the seat of the 32 lokpals and bears the noise of the road. It is where the boundary wall and its gate, servant quarters, guards and pets belong, where flags are hoisted and where shilanyas (foundation stone laying) is done.
Outermost band (pishach veethi) of the plot, along the boundary
Pits, wells, drains, poles, big trees, garbage, a road hitting the door or a long-vacant house in front of the main door each bring a specific harm, from disease to loss of lifespan.

The North-East is the seat of Jupiter. Its interior uses ivory and white with golden yellow, gold or gold-polished artifacts, topaz or citrine, auspicious symbols such as Ashtamangal, Nandyavart and the mangal kalash, and white or yellow flowering plants.
Plants: tulsi, champa, white rose, sweet neem, bel patra, peace lily, marigold
North-East (ishaan)
The North belongs to Mercury. Its interior uses green with blue, ivory and white, Kota stone, green marble or limestone, emerald-family minerals, flowers and fragrance, Kuber and water pictures, a bandanwar, clay artifacts and a small library.
Plants: tulsi, champa, white rose, kewra, lavender, mogra, small-leaved golden money plant

Tulsi senses negative energy entering the home and drives it away, and the air rising from it cleans the whole house, so every home must have one, especially in the North-East and the brahmasthan.

A sunken courtyard in the centre suits only a temple. In homes the courtyards were actually built raised, with a boundary all around and a tulsi platform in the middle, so they were not counted as a defect.
Yes. Plants are the most sensitive testers and signal earthquakes and accidents in a house in advance. White hibiscus and tulsi react at once to negativity, and a failing peace lily shows negativity in the house. Remove the negativity and the peace lily will start growing by itself.
Only one tall tree is allowed in the North-East, the coconut, which draws cosmic energy from above and passes it down. No other tall tree should stand there. If one already exists and cannot be cut, plant energy-capturing plants such as tulsi in the North and plant tulsi all around the tree.
Yes, tulsi can be kept inside if it gets proper air and light. If it dries again and again, the house has negativity; light a cow-ghee diya near it. Tulsi is said to produce the most oxygen, and a ghee lamp beside it to generate so much oxygen that the pair could serve like an oxygen cylinder in an emergency.
A fruiting mango tree need not be removed: build a boundary and chabutra around it and keep a tulsi plant there. A pomegranate can be moved with its roots to another place; if it cannot be moved, pour desi cow urine at its roots and place tulsi near it.
